As a courtesy, tax bills are mailed in the middle of July to the last known owner of real estate or to the last known address that we have on file for the taxpayer. The county tax year runs from July 1st to June 30th. You are assessed on what real estate is deeded in your name and what vehicles you have titled in your name on July 1 of the previous year. For example: the 2018 taxes that were mailed in July of 2018 are based on what the taxpayer had deeded or titled in his/her name on July 1st of 2017.

We do not send out second half notices of taxes due. The tax bill you receive one time in July has both payments outlined on it.
- The bottom portion of your tax bill outlines the first half or full year payment amount that is due in the month you choose to pay it. If you only pay your first half, the middle section outlines your second half payment with the starting due date of March 1st.
- Taxes are considered delinquent April 1st, and if any taxes are still owed as of May 1st, then by law the tax amount and your name will be published with fees added. 

We now are able to accept credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover). Please be aware that there is a convenience fee of 2.00 or 2.9%, whichever is greater added to your balance due and paid directly to the payment processing company.
